When harmful or unwanted information shows up in Google search results for your name, it can feel like your past is permanently attached to your identity. Whether it’s an old news article, a mugshot, a police blotter entry, or some outdated post that no longer reflects who you are, the impact can be devastating—professionally, personally, and emotionally.

One of the most common questions we hear at National Security Law Firm is:
“Can I remove my name from Google search?”
The answer is: sometimes. And the path forward depends entirely on the type of content you’re trying to remove.

Google’s “Results About You” Tool: What It Can and Can’t Do

Google now offers a “Results About You” tool, which allows you to request the removal of certain personal information from search results. You can access it here:
👉 https://support.google.com/websearch/answer/12719076?hl=en

This tool covers very limited categories of information, such as:

  • Your home address

  • Phone number

  • Email address

  • Social Security number or bank details

  • Deepfake or involuntary explicit imagery

  • Confidential government ID numbers

What It Doesn’t Cover:
Unfortunately, this tool does not allow you to remove negative content like:

  • News articles about an arrest or lawsuit

  • Mugshots

  • Police blotters

  • Blog posts or forum threads criticizing you

  • Court records

  • Social media content

  • Business complaints or reviews

If the content you want removed falls outside of Google’s narrow criteria, your only real option is to work with a content removal lawyer—someone who understands the legal, technical, and strategic process required to deindex or eliminate harmful content.

When You Need a Content Removal Lawyer

At National Security Law Firm, we specialize in removing harmful online content that doesn’t qualify for removal under Google’s tools. Our attorneys use a combination of:

  1. Direct removal requests to the original website or publisher

  2. Legal demand letters citing privacy violations, copyright infringement, and other federal causes of action

  3. Negotiation and takedown strategies using federal law

  4. Google deindexing petitions, where we demonstrate legal justification for removing URLs from search results

  5. DMCA takedown requests when applicable

  6. Court orders or negotiated settlements, where necessary, to compel removal or suppression

We’ve successfully removed content from hundreds of major websites including:

  • Local and national newspapers

  • Police blotter archives

  • Mugshot repositories

  • Reddit, WordPress blogs, and niche gossip forums

  • “Reputation” websites and SEO-optimized blackmail sites
